Playcalling Hypothetical

#1

You are Jaguars OC Greg Olson.

 

It is in the 4th quarter of the Carolina game, and you are trailing by 8.

 

While Luke Joeckel isn't making anyone forget Tony Boselli, he has done a relatively decent job against the Carolina DE before leaving the game with an injured ankle.

 

His substitute, Sam Young, hasn't fared as well.  Frankly, he's been beaten like a rented mule, and most of the pressure on Bortles has come when he entered the game.

 

What plays do you call?

 

You are behind in the 4th quarter.  While there is still time, we need points pretty quickly.

 

The situation calls for 4 wide and throwing it all over the place, right?

 

All of your pre game scouting shows that Carolina's nickel and dime backs can be had.

 

But your LT is hurt and his replacement can't block anyone.

 

Do you go four wide and leave your LT to try to block the DE when you know he hasn't?

 

Do you go 3 wide leave a TE in to help block the DE, leaving yourself less able to attack the secondary you scouted and determined to be vulnerable?

 

Do you make your rookie RB chip, limiting his availability as a check down?

 

Do you shift protections to the left, even though your pregame scouting shows they sometimes slant to your right?  What if they played against their own tendencies and showed blitz to the right?  Do you allow the QB to audible, switch protections to the right, leaving your vulnerable tackle one on one?  Does that include route adjustments? Do they become hot routes and they break it off underneath to beat the blitz?  What does that do to the play you deemed appropriate under the circumstances? 

 

Oh yeah, the receivers whose routes you may be adjusting, have been dropping passes and not getting much in way of separation all game.

 

What play works? 


 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
